Le Meridien Apartments in Makkah Saudi Arabia

I am leading a lawsuit and also public exposure efforts against the Saudi Companies and the Government of Saudi Arabia for hiding these individuals.

I have tried for years to pursue the recovery of my money. If you are interested in participating and have legal documents to support your ownership and investment then please contact me at rafiqathar@yahoo.com. I am based in the USA and this is NOT a scam since you will not be paying me any money. I am doing this as my duty to help muslims who have been cheated.

I am also preparing the information required by CBS News and FOX News to get airtime from them. If we have good proof we can get the story on 60 Minutes and other news shows like 360 Anderson Cooper.

Please DO NOT BUY anything in Saudi Arabia.
Regards,
Athar

He needs to be informed as to whats gone on. This is so unfair and no one else is to blame.

hello sir how r you

Assalaamu alaikum

I am saddend to hear the stories of people who've not gotten what they've paid for and any other evil thing that has taken place with regards to the Makkah timeshare program.

I do not represent anyone except my family and myself. I'm an African American Muslim revert, alhamdulillaah. From the time I became Muslim, I wanted to perform hajj and alhamdulillaah I did as a gift from Allaah ( I was sponsored). After performing the hajj I had the to desire to perform umrah as often as Allaah permitted and alhamdulillaah I've gotten that opportunity. How, by being a owner of a Makkah Timeshare property.

This may sound crazy, but we purchased this property site unseen. Never would I've done that in the USA, but I just happened to run across a site that advertised the purchase of such properties. I couldn't believe it, mashaAllaah. I had my husband read the specs and he couldn't believe it. We contacted Investors Provident out of the UK. The agent sent us brochures, etc. So we prayed istikharah and now we're the pround owners of a 25 year lease property (with deeds and signed contracts). MashaAllaah tabarakAllaah

We didn't go visit the first year of the completed project, . We hadn't prepared to travel to Saudi on our own. We went to check on our property for the first time this past year 2008 and are planning to go this year 2009 inshaAllaah.

We own two weeks during Muharram, but last year when we were making arrangements, we found that the embassy wasn't giving out visas in Muharram. I got on the phone, called and emailed Al-Muttahed and was told that it was ok and that we could come whenever we got our visas. We just needed to give them a months notice for reservations. Alhamdulillaah we went and performed umrah last year while staying in our suite in Makkah. We aslo took my grandsons (ages 7/8). Also, because we didn't go the first year, we still had those two weeks and we could even defer those weeks for a later time (year, month, etc.).

I am so sorry for what has happened to many of you, but I just couldn't sit by and not speak about my authentic experience. Not everyone has had a bad experience or been ripped off.

I pray that Allaah rectify the affairs of all those who've been mistreated and had monies taken with nothing in return. Remember no one gets away. They will pay. We must also look to find as much as we can of the story.

I pray that Allaah continues to shower His bounties and mercy upon my family and me, ameen.

SALAMS ALL- RED ALERT RED ALERT RED ALERT

I HAVE BEEN CHASING THESE PEOPLE FOR OVER THREE YEARS AND HAVENT RECEIVED A PENNY OF MY HALAL MONEY BACK, I THOUGHT SAUDI WAS A PLACE OF MUSLIM PEOPLE DOING GENUINE BUSINESS I DIDNT REALISE ITS ALSO FULL OF THIEVES ESPECIALLY THE ALMUTAHED PEOPLE LIKE MR DOULATLY, MR ABDULLAH AND MR Fayez Bin Awaid Al Shammary AND HIS CO WORKERS.

PLEASE AVOID BUYING ANYTHING AND DEALING WITH AL MUTAHED EVER. I DONT KNOW HOW THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT AFTER STEALING PEOPLES MONEY AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ONLY WANT TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF ALLAH TO PERFORM THEIR BASIC ISLAMIC DUTIES. WHAT REALLY MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL IS THAT SOME DODGY PRINCE OWNS THEM! I AM ASHAMED AT THESE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE MUSLIMS LOOK BAD TO THE WIDER WORLD. THIS IS WHY THE UMMAH IS IN SUCH AN EMBARRASSING MESS. MAY ALLAH SORT THESE INBREDS OUT AND REDEEM THE NAME OF ISLAM

The deeds are useless as developer and meridien wont give booking.

Salaams,

Diplomatic Suite for sale at the Le Meridien Apartment in Mecca, accommodates 3 persons available for 5 nights from 11th Ramdahan. The lease is available for 25 years, starting from H 1428 (2007 -2008).

Price : $16,500 ONO.

All deeds have been received and signed.

For further queries please contact waheedh@hotmail.co.uk.

I was a victim of this scam so I don't recommend buying anything at all in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The sentiment stated above is all true - the money was stolen, no deeds were received, no phone calls returned, no faxes answered - complete thieves.

For Muslims who are supposed to be extremely honest and fair - especially in the holiest city of the world - it is a real shame. I don't suggest buying anything there at all.

HRH Prince Faisal bin Mugrin bin Abdulaziz, son of Prince Mugrin head of internal security, Al Muttahed a leading Saudi development firm listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange and Northcourse owned by Wyndham a NYSE company have been involved with a property scandal in the holy city of Mecca(Makkah) Saudi Arabia.

Le Meridien Hotel Towers Makkah offered a noble and spiritually rewarding product to Non Saudi's however this blessed gift is nothing but a shameful con.

The product was exclusively marketed globally by North Course based out of Dubai with ambitions of being the leading timeshare advisors, managers and operators in the entire Gulf region.

In cahoots with Saudi firms, (Saudi Amjad/Al Muttahed (a Saudi StockCompany) & Al Fassel Global Services) Northcourse, the creators of this project have been perpetrating a holy sin, marketing and promising the blessed gift of owning property in Holy Makkah close to the prophets Mosque to Non Saudis knowing full well that what they were doing was illegal, immoral and plainly deceiving buyers.

Le Meridien the hotel chain purported to be the timeshare resort managers through disclaimers denies any association with the project

"It has come to the attention of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., (Starwood) that units at Le Meridien Towers Makkah hotel in Saudi Arabia are being offered for sale or rent as condominiums or timeshare by third parties. These timeshare units are not offered, licensed, sponsored or endorsed by Starwood, Le Meridien brand or any Starwood affiliates.

Starwood and Le Meridien brand disclaim any relationship with such timeshare or condominium units."

Apartments have also been sold to non Muslims as North Course claimed the investment would reap huge financial rewards, with the developer (Saudi Amjad / Al Muttahed) being aware to what was going on and signing contracts and issuing title deeds.

How can the Saudi Government condone this kind of scandal, this blasphemy in the Holy City? Northcourse, Almuttahed and Al Fassel Global Services need investigating and serious action taken against them, using the holy city for business purposes and cheating faithful out of money in this way is shameful.

The Saudi, other Gulf authorities and Allah (peace be upon him) should punish the perpetrators of this evil crime. Muslim companies, communities, mosques and Governments around the world should boycott doing business with the companies mentioned above.

I have a 1 bedroom suite, from the 15th-20th of Ramadhan to sell. If you are interested, please contact me.
